We enjoyed the company of the Lewisporte Yacht Club
members last night and welcomed our new crew member Erin on board with good
conversation into the early hours this morning. Nonetheless we were up in
time to be to be underway at 9.15. We have now cleared the plethora of
islands and are out into the open sea, a mild swell has us rolling lightly, we
have shifted into sea watches and Erin is on
watch. The forecast is for continuing southerly winds overnight going
light tomorrow. The skies are overcast with the odd short shower. If
the wind holds good we should be at the northern most point of Newfoundland by
tomorrow afternoon. From there we have to decide whether we continue on
for a little while, maybe touch the coast of Labrador or whether we turn left
into Bell Isle
Strait and start making our way direct
to Sydney, Nova Scotia, so that Max can connect with
his flight home. We’ll see how everyone is feeling this time
tomorrow and decide then.
